My vote: Orfeh, though she's a little on the old side.

Dee Ravioli. She's the perfect age but I don't think this skimpy production could afford her.
Couldn't the girl who's not playing Fredrika play Madame Armfeldt that night?
Dakota Fanning?
Faith Prince perhaps? She deserves to be in a "hit" something - A Catered Affair and Mermaid were very short-lived.
What about Alice Ripley?
Alice is too young. Plus with all that shlt she's on, she's can't sit still in that chair for 3 hours.

Robinycus2, Jackie's way too young. Someone like Kerry Butler is much more appropriate.
I like Alice Ripley. Let's have her in A Little Night Music and the Broadway, national tour and international productions of Next to Normal all at the same time. She can do it.

Was the Faith Prince suggestion serious? I think it was.
Scarlett Johansson or Anne Hathaway, of course!
Whether or not the Faith Prince suggestion was serious, Mildred, it was certainly hilarious!

Poor Faith Prince. I hope she doesn't read message boards.

Karen Ziemba or Barbara Walsh. I think Mme Armfeldt must be READY FOR CHANGE by now.
I say pull a Pearl Bailey and recast the entire thing when Zeta-Jones and Lansbury leave.
Sheryl Lee Ralph as Armfeldt and Halle Berry as Desiree.
Sam Harris for Petra please!
Move Over Larkin!
Is their any truth to the rumor of Ashlee Simpson Wentz jumping over to ALNM right after her Chicago run??

Seriously: Mary Louise Wilson would be phenomenal!
Carol Channing
I agree with Mary Louise Wilson
and if Carole Shelley wants a change of pace from "Billy Elliot" this would be great!

Does Rosemary Harris sing? I think she would have fun with the role. Or Mary Beth Peil? Now I know she sings.

Meryl Streep did say she wants to head back to Broadway...
